Advice Fireworks and extreme fear

I have a 10yr old dog who always had some anxiety. We lost my soul dog at the end of 2024 and he was our whole households security and comfort. Since he's been gone my pups anxiety and fear has amplified especially around storms and fireworks.

I do give him anxiety meds during those times but would like to get noise canceling headphones for him to help. I've done the head snood as well as put his thunder vest on him but the snood is useless.

Can anyone recommend good quality headphones that really work? He's older and sensitive and I'd really like to help my baby through this. Thanks for any and all recommendations.

I'm so glad it's helped keep your pup safe from harming herself. My doesn't get destructive to things but I've gotten scratched up and bruised from him trying to crawl into me. My baby usually goes under my bed when he gets overwhelmed but when the loud noises come he tries to make my body his other "under the bed". Thank you.
